Group Classes
Group classes allow you to experience and work with a broad variety of people. Classes bring the interests and questions of a broad variety of people into the teaching situation and in this way increase the energy and scope of the learning.
Private Lessons
Private lessons are designed to fit your individual interests and needs as well as your style of learning and individual pacing. Because of their individual focus, they enable you to achieve the deepest and most rapid possible learning and growth. When you have very specific needs that would not be addressed well by the general nature of a class, private lessons would be most appropriate.
